CHANGE MANAGEMENT, VITAL TO THE STABILITY and GROWTH OF your business

Frequent configuration change is a feature of any growing and dynamic organization and must be tightly managed if disruption is to be avoided. Vector’s Change Manager Pro ensures all stakeholders in the change processes are involved in following rigorous change management processes. Change Manager Pro integrates with the Asset Manager Pro database to help regulate changes in desktop configuration and application detail.
